So out march 15th and price is launch special of £7.49 / $10.99 for 3 days only.

Wonder if this will be universal? suggested for iphone 4, 4s and ipad 2 so it could well be. Doesn't mention ipod touch 4 either, probably due to ram issues.

I am excited

Does "HD" mean it will have retina graphics, or does it mean it will be universal? I already have DoDonPachi Resurrection "non HD" and I don't own an iPad. If it means I'll get retina graphics I'd happily buy it again, but I don't want to throw the money buying the same thing again... Thanks

I wonder if they'll make Espgaluda II HD available on iPhone 4 as well? I'd be very happy to purchase HD versions of Cave's shooters.

I think so, if you run the Japanese PR announcement through a translator it sounds like that'll be getting a universal update (also iPhone 4/4S and iPad 2 only):

Yeah high res + universal, well high res for the most part. The backgrounds are just pixel doubled but everything else is high res, same way they've done it on the Xbox 360 and Espgaluda II HD. Not a huge deal since you don't really notice since it tends to be continuously panning and the screen tends to be covered with bullets. Joystiq put some screens up of it on the iPhone:

Hey japtor, thanks so much for the link. I was unaware of the announcement, but I'm looking forward to playing some Cave shmups in high-res. It'd be sick if they announced Deathsmiles in HD also (probably wishful thinking, but we can all dream).

Well DS has high res assets from the 360 release, I'd assume anything that already got a high res release in some form is a possible candidate. Otherwise Bug Princess/Mushi 1 is getting a HD release on 360 soon so I guess that's another possible one down the line, I think that'd be it for the existing iOS ports, I'm not sure if the 360 version of DDPDOJ/Blissful Death got the high res treatment or not.

If it's iPad native, I'll buy it. Otherwise I'll wait for them to release an iPad version.

Cool, thanks a lot. Then I'll re-buy the game. I think Cave nailed this game IMO.

I dont mind paying the same 7.99 or whatever it was for DDPR regular since this HD version is limited to a certain # of iOS devices, but charging that much is hard to go for. Especially when we have Dariusburst quality visuals being universal.

Oh boy not again, they're really taking the p*** this time.

I love their games no question, but they have been inconsistent in releasing them on iOS. I'm actually wondering if the release of Bug Princess universal wasn't a "fortunate" mistake from their side... I mean we had DDBS iPhone only just after that . Gamers keep asking them to release universal apps, I don't think they get it right by releasing HD full price version when an update for those who have it already would be more adequate
